but...isnt china bad? edit: this was a joke, sheesh
No, it's one of the best countries in the world for the working classes at the present moment. It's regularly improving, and though it has its issues, it's doing well to work through them, which is more than can be said of the dying western empire.

On my part, or janewaydidnothingwrong's?

I get what you mean but people constantly say very misinformed stuff about China without joking
yeah but that is actually the joke I was making, anyway lesson learned

What's shit about communists?
I have no issue with communists. I'm in the anti capitalist camp myself.
I guess all I'm trying to say is idealising nations as utpoian is unrealistic and demonizig them as dystopian is equally as unfair.
There are obviously exceptions where governments do treat their citizens like trash. I don't like what America is doing at the moment. I try not to think in binaries generally, learning not to anyway
Communists don't idealize socialist countries, not are we utopians.
I didn't say that
